I'm an aspiring artist, writer, and actress who just wants to share the art and stories she creates with the world. I don't expect to become super popular or even a bit famous, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see. P.S. I'm also a shipper and I take this sort of thing VERY seriously, so watch out.

Jump-scaring y’all with fanart for Willard (2003) because, imma be real with you peeps, I think Crispin Glover is fine as fuck and I love him in this movie he is such a weird n’ pathetic little guy, a horse girl but with rats, I need him so bad I need to kiss him and make his mommy issues worse and I need to-👹😩💦

Kurt Vonnegut wrote: “When I was 15, I spent a month working on an archeological dig. I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of “getting to know you” questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.

And he went WOW. That’s amazing! And I said, “Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them.”

And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: “I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.”

And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could “Win” at them.
